Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormMaurice Steijn will have some work to do building up his players after their 4-0 away thrashing at the hands of Ajax.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. With 10 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They have been performing well at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormFC Utrecht will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against PSV last time out.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Utrecht recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Tasos Douvikas will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for FC Utrecht.
FC Utrecht recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
In their previous 3 encounters with Utreg, Sparta have shipped at least one goal in those matches. The Utrecht defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit De Kasteelheren in the league, with Utrecht conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Sparta have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Utrecht.
Sparta have lost the last 3 times they've faced Utrecht in the league and have failed to win in their last 14 encounters.
Sean Klaiber has scored in each of Utrecht's last 0 league games against Sparta.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sparta manager Maurice Steijn ahead of this clash, with Bart Vriends (Unknown) missing out, which gives Steijn a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Michael Silberbauer has a number of injury concerns in his Utrecht squad to contend with: Bas Dost (Foot), Ramon Hendriks (Cruciate ligament), Bart Ramselaar (Knee), Hidde ter Avest (Unknown), Django Warmerdam (Knee) and Amin Younes (Unknown)
